This is the first time I am attempting to post pics. I hope this works. About 4 years ago I weigh what I estimate to be 465 pounds. Most likely it was more but I'll never know for sure. Over about a six month period of intense dieting, I lost 20 pounds. Around that time, a friend who lost his job came to live with me and start fixing meals. While he was here my weight dropped from 445 to 412 in a matter of about 7 weeks. After he left, I went back to my old ways and climbed back to 438. That was 2.5 years ago. The day after my 39th birthday I said I wasn't going to look and feel like I that when I was 40. I set out to lose weight. I was successful in the sense that I lost about 130 pounds in 6 months. Unfortunately, my diet, while healthy, was too limited to be sustainable and I gained back close to 50 pounds over the next six months. I stayed around 380ish until January 9, 2012, when I started using this site. In the 6 months I've gone from 382 to 308. I've added muscle and feel so much better. Here are my pictures.
From May 2008, estimated weight of 465.
I don't have one from my first month on MFP. This one was taken February 11. I was about 363.
This picture is from this morning.
